Obama on failed 2nd term agenda: "Maybe I should just pack up and go home"

President Obama sarcastically dismissed concerns over his struggles to pass key components of his second term agenda at a White House press conference Tuesday.

"Maybe I should just pack up and go home," Obama said. "Golly."

The president acknowledged that he had struggled to pass a bill to repeal the sequester or implement new gun controls, but said he was "actually confident there are a range of things that we're going to be able to get done."
